Backup question

I am buying a new HD for my playstation and I need to do a backup. What exactly does it backup? What will I need to redownload when I put the new hard drive in to set everything back up? I have over 550 downloads on the psn store so what is the easiest way to redownload the things that I need to? Thanks in advance!

If you backup for HD like it is now, all your games, saves, install data, firmware, songs, movies, basically everything will be backed up on a external HD if you have one, the only thing you need to redownload is trophies off your server, thats it nothing else.
